SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Now that the differences between France and Ame rica are settled, and the first instalment of the money in question between them actually paid, it is,' and Ought to be, to our countrymen matter of proud con gratulation, that so beneficial a result as the prompt settlement of differences which might easily have led to the most disastrous consequenceg, must be mainly ascribed to the good faith and amicable mediation of our own Government. This is a fact no less gratify ing than universally admitted--England has received from both parties the warmest expression of their gra titude for her interference. Nor is this language held by Guerin:lents alone, individuals of the highest sta tion in both cotmtries have not hesitated to confess how much was d u e td ihe disinterested conduct and good faith of the British 5 0 verninnt. In America, in particular, it was gratifying to see men like Mr. Clay sinking national prejudices in the cor dial a cknowledgments which justice drew forth. It is perfectly obvious that in the conduct pursued by our Government, they were actuated by a high re gard for mighty and philanthropic considerations, and not by narrow views of petty and selfish interests, which might have been possibly advanced at the ex pense of the commerce of either of the belligerent's. In contradistinction to Tory jealousy, which would gladly seize the occasion of fanning the strife between such powers as France and America, it was the ob ject of the present liberal Government to, interpose their offices for no other purpose than that of re storing harmony between what must be termed the liberal Powers. To strengthen the hands of liberal Governments was never more important than at the present time ; and the policy of Lord Palmerston has been manfully directed to the great object. The state of Europe generally, and that of the Penin . - sula in particular, bear testimony to the importance of this wise and statesmanlike conduct. A defeated faction exclaims against the supposed loss of our influence abroad. Can there be a , better answer to its taunts, or a better justifica _ _ tion of the prudent and straightforward conduct of the Foreign Secretary, than that under British mediation, and under Lord Palmerston's direction, within the short compass of two years' disputes—first between ' France and Sweden, next between Portugal and Sar dinia, and lastly between France and America, have been effectually and amicably settled ? Is it nothing for England to be received as the mediator between the two greatest maritime Powers in the world, after our . - selves, and to find that mediation successful, and both parties expressing their cordial acknowledgments ? What a show of rejoicing would it have been to the ene mies of liberal institutions, what a subject of congratu lation for Russia, to have beheld the flame of war fanned into activity, and bursting out between France and America ! How might her dreams of aggrandisement, her ambitious views against her southern neighbour, have been realised and advanced in the general struggle to which such a contest might have led ! Except the worn- out Tories of England. no party would have pro bably rejoiced so much at the disastrous struggle as his most extensive Highness the Czar of Muscovy. But the public, who by the means of their Representa tives in Parliament have already hurled the Tory fac tion from place and power, can appreciate facts like these, and will draw their own inferences as to the soundness of the policy of the Liberal Government, and the degree of attention which ought to be paid to the howlings of the Opposition about loss of influence, &c., in the face of testimony of British influence so well known and authentic. We congratulate Lord Palmerston and the Government upon the beneficial result of Bri tish mediation in effecting so fortunate and so speedy a settlement between two of the greatest Powers in the world—we congratulite the country upon the important bearing which the amicable settlement of this question has upon the cause of constitutional liberty and of ge neral peace ; and while at home we see reform either in successful operation or in active progress, and the resources and prospects of the country steadily in creasing, it is equally gratifying to know that our in creasing influence abroad is no less marked than our urosperity at home ; and the Government, strong in the affections and support of the people, and backed by such evidence of their beneficial operation, may pursue the course they are in with calmness and.dif,T nity, unmoved by the ravings of a faction whose hold upon this country is constantly and rapidly diminish ng.—Mariting Chronicle. It has been 'at all times a distinguishing characteris tic of the institutions of this country, that the admink tration of justice should be placed in pure and disin terested hands. Blackstone thus notices one of the extremes to which this principle is carried :—" The prudent jealousy of our ancestors (says the great com mentator) ordained that no man of law should be Judge of Assize in his own county ; and a similar prohibition is found in the civil law, which has carried the principle so far, that it is equivalent to the crime of sacrilege for a man to be Governor of the province in which he was born, or has any civil connection?" The objection to judges sitting on the Civil Side et the Assizes in coun ties wherein they may happen to have property, is still, we believe, rigidly adhered to in practice—a circum stance which we take to be of little other value or ad vantage than as retaining one of the old landmarks which "the prudent jealousy of our ancestors" placed for our guidance and observance. And if this absence even of apparent interest be so essential in persons ex ercising judicial functions, it must, we imagine, be ad mitted that those who are placed in the situation of Legis lators should be equallyexempt from the smallest suspicion of interested bias in the performance of their high and important duties. If those who are to administer the laws should be pure, those who make them should at least be disinterested and impartial. If there are any who doubt the salutary tendency of this maxim, we would refer them, for an ample corroboration of its truth, to the history of the celebrated South Sea scheme, where they will see Members of the Senate figuring in and promoting one of the most extensive frauds and bubbles that former or even later times have ever witnessed. When we see, then, the names of Members of the Legislature put forward as Directors or Subscribers to schemes, however plausible or even valuable, to which the subsequent assent of Parliament is to be required, we cannot help considering that such persons sink the higher character in the lesser, and, in fact, disqualify themselves from giving that impartial consideration to the subject which every measure which comes before them is entitled to receive. The same, or even a more rigid rule, applies to contracts ; it be ing an established maxim that a Government con tractor is ipso :ficto disqualified from sitting in the House of Commons. Governed by these undeni able principles, we were much struck with an avowed and ingenious evasion of the latter, resorted to by the City of Dublin Steam Company, with which, we believe, several popular Members of of Parliament are, connected. " The Company asked to be incorporated (said its agent at a late meeting) as the General Steam Navigation Company had been, in order to prevent the Members of Parliament who were connected wills it from being ousted frog: their seals, should the Company obi= the contract"— meaning the' contract for conveying the mails. Now if this be not, in principle, at least, a distinction with out a difference, we scarcely know what is. So an in corporated Member of Parliament may become a con tractor with impunity—an impunity, by the bye, which not only embraces a virtual violation of the law, but which also limits his liability to his creditors ; and besides this, he may be the maker of the very law which enables him to do so, and thus to become the dependent supplicant to the Government for its favours to him as a common carrier ! As all this is openly avowed, and no secrecy or reserve resorted to, we readily suppose that persons who put forth,. or act upon sueh premises, see none of the consequences we have alluded to. Whether Parliament and the country will be of the same opinion, remains to be seen. We have merely p er f orme d our duty in drawing their at tention to what strikes us as a gross disregard of the , 4 prudent jealousy of our ancestors."—Morn. Herald. The public attention has been recently called to the state of our relations with China, in consequence of Mr. Hamilton Lindsay's published letter to Lord Palmerston upon that subject, and the criticisms which it has called forth from certain portions of the . Press. We perceive that the Gover nment P apers , which do not find it convenient to consider gravely the I THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, APRIL 4, B'-6 state of affairs,'which Mr. Lindsay considers to de mand a remedy, arc pleased to divert themselves and ,their readers with turning into ridicule the suggestions ~ he makes for redressing existing evils. We are, our selves, not disposed to contend for their wisdom, nor do we wish to damp the sprightliness of our Contempo raries upon fitting occasions ; but we venture to submit that the state of our relations with the empire of China is no laughing matter, and that it much concerns_ the public to understand what that state is, whether they agree with the propositions for its amendment, or dismiss them as absurd. Believing Mr. Lindsay to be a fair and competent witness as to the existing cir ctimstances of the British Establishment in China, we shall therefore use his pamphlet as a means of furnish ; in to our readers the information, as to facts, which it is expedient they should be possessed of. It is, we think, fairly and truly stated that our affairs in China are at present in a very anomalous condition'—a state in which they ought not to be suffered to continue. We have broken up the system of the East India Com pany in throwing open to the public that trade of which the Company did possess a monopoly. The Commis sion for the management of our affairs, which was ap pointed in consequence of the new state of the law, and at the head of which Lord Napier was placed, was —to say the least of it very unfortunate in its proceedings : and since his Lordship's lamented death at Macao, affairs have been left to arrange themselves. This is a method which often answers very well, especially in the con cerns of trade ; but it is always liable to sudden inter ruption and disaster, and does not very well consist with the dignity, of the British Government. Besides, if we are not to have the advantages of a Government establishment in China, we ought not to be at the ex pense of it ; but according to the account before us, the expense continues, without any corresponding benefit. Had the monopoly of the East India Com pany continued, Mr. Lindsay says, he is inclined to believe that no change in our political relations with China would have been necessary. " Occasional dis putes would have occurred ; but the power of adjusting them being in the hands of two parties, both equally inte rested in the preservation of the trade, we should have gone on for an indefinite period, in spite of the arro gance of the Chinese and the ill-suppressed wrath of the English residents. But circumstances are now changed ; the Company's monopoly is abolished—that of the Chinese remains. Those immense interests, over which the Company's representatives formerly held individual sway, are now broken into numerous fractions, without any bon4 or community of interest. This appeared so obvious that it was thought neces sary to replace the authority of the Company by one from the Crown, which should be equally able to con trol and protect its own subjects. That this was the intention of his Majesty's Government is clear, by their sending out a Nobleman of Lord Na pier's rank and character to assume the situa tion of his Majesty's Chief Commissioner." Mr. Lindsay proceeds to avow his opinion that the 'Commission failed in its purpose. He admits that Lord Napier acted in some respects injudiciously, but maintains that the Chinese were pre-determined to in sult him, and that no moderation on his part would have proCiired for him a fitting reception. He then comes to the question of what is now to be done ? He says he cannot imagine it possible that another Eng lish gentleman of character and talent is to be sent to China, and directed to submit to all the humiliating , concessions of national inferiority, which will be de manded before he is recognized by the Chinese ; and he asks, as a correlative question, whether we are to continue at Macao an establishment which costs more than 20,000/. a year, without any assignable duties whatever ? This has been the situation of his Majes ty's Commission, ever since the lamented death of Lord Napier. This ought not to continue ; and Mi nisters would be better employed in looking into such matters than in considering how a Government may be maintained in Spain, which the Spanish people de spises and detests ; or how Mr. O'Connell may be al lowed to establish bigotry and democracy in Ireland, without awakening the suspicion and provoking the dis pleasure, of the people of England. Sir John Cam Hobhouse, to whose department this branch of the public business directly belongs, would do well to spare a little time from jobbing in Governorships, in order to .attend to it. It is enough that the connections of a former ultra democrat, should be provided for at the expense of the Mutiarcily, which he now affects to serve, without' suffering in another quarter from com plete neglect of that which concerns the dignity of the Crown, and the interest of a most important branch of the trade of the country. Whatever may be done with respect to the establishment at Macao—and that something should be done is quite obvious—we do not think that Mr. Lindsay's advice as to the future treat inept of the Chinese will be of much use to Minis ters. As soon as he leaves the region of facts for that of speculation, the detail of things as they are, for suggestions of what they ought to be, he seems to lose his head, and to follow the impulse of indig nant temper, rather than of cool judgment. He as sures the public, however, that he has " considered the subject deeply, and that there are but two modes of acting that can now be adopted with any appear ance of consistency." The first is by a direct armed interference, to demand redress for past injuries, and security for the future. The second is the withdrawal of all political relations from a country which obsti nately refuses to acknowledge such without insult, and . the sending out, in lieu of his Majesty's Commissioners, " a person of no pretensions," whose sole duties should consist in registering ships' papers, and countersigning manifests. By either or both of these notable plans we should, no doubt, have the satisfaction of showing that we were very angry with the Chinese. But is this worth while ? We should think not, considering the price we should probably pay for the indulgence of our indigna tion—namely,' the mode first pointed out, the destruction or very long interruption of our trade with China ; and in the second, the risk of incurring some great loss, or losing some great advantage, from the want of an autho rity to act on the part of the British Government, in any emergency, until many months should elapse, and many thousand miles of ocean have been traversed. And what is the offence for which these measures against the peace or the pride of the Chinese are ad vised ? Why, truly this, that they are so barbarous as to call us barbarians, and to give us, along with their commodities, very scuryy larrgtrage. Can we not afford to regard this with contempt ? Our tea does not taste a whit the worse, that the people who sell it are in some respects very grotesque savages, and so imbued with ignorant conceit, that they call us bar barians, in comparison with themselves. Expe rience has shown that they are incorrigible in this respect, and we despair of teaching them polite ness by means of cannon-shot and shells, or per suading them to o)serve etiquette, by neglecting to observe our own national arid commercial interests. We believe that by strict observance of honesty in matters of trade, and of established rules as to the manner of it, a very beneficial, and by no means de grading, intercourse may be maintained with the Chi nese. The Government of this country should apply itself to the consideration of the Chinese question, with a view of establishing a system that will secure, as far as may be, this honesty, and adherence to rule. The danger is, that from the " numerous fractions" into which the China trade is broken, some of them will attempt to act upon their own individual views, and by cheating, or other misconduct, endanger the pros perity or safety of the whole trade. An establishment to protect our interests in China, by seeing that strict justice is d one upon our part, i s t h at which the present state of circumstances demands. We hope the subject will not be much longer neglected by the proper authorities.—Morning Herald. What will the People do? if the Lords, as on Saturday we announced it to be their intention, reject the Irish Municipal Reform Bill. That is the ques tion—and though it would be well if the Government and the country would calmly consider the mode of action to be adopted in such a contingency, it is the existence of the hereditary legislators themselves which is most vitally involved in the solution of the question. It is true the Ministry may be unseated —the people of Ireland may. light their mountain fires, calld , simul taneous meetings—the connection between the two countries may be endangered, but hereditary legisla tion will assuredly receive a death blow ; therefore 't is the Lords themselves who should reflect most -nsly on the resu l ts w hi c h must follow—inevi erh,. t „ I :tow—their deni a l o f j us tice to Ireland. Thel lhiY Commons' of England have pronounced in fa vour of the prin:'iple of admitting Ireland to the enjoyment of equal 1a;. 4 and r i ghts w it h ma j orities so numerous, that no do,"bt can exist of the de termination with which the peop l of Great Britain are resolved to force the measure into law; a nd should the .e: Lords array themselves in opposition, the collision must be fatal either to representative government or to birth-right legislation. It was not to be expected that the Reformed House of Commons could proceed in the reformation of abuses without incurring opposition from an unreformed House of . Lords. The great ob jection to the former constitution of the House of Commons was the influene.c which the aristocracy ex ercised in the election of its Members; but if the Lords be allowed to prevent amelioration in our insti tutions, it is a matter of indifference whether the evil be perpetuated by one means or the other—by corrup tion in the election of Members of the House of Com mons, or by innate corruption in the House of Lords. Thus it is evident that we must either forfeit the be nefits of a reform in the House of Commons, or reform the I-louse of Lords ; and again we ask, What will the people do ?—Morning Advertiser. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. ROME CIRCUIT.—KrNasroN, APRIL 2. THE OMNIBUS CONSPIRACY.-THE KING ON THE PROSE CUTION OF WILLIAM HARRIS V. RICHARD DOXALL AND OTHERS. Mr. CLARKSON opened the pleadings. He stated that this was an indictment against certain coach proprietors for conspiring together to injure and obstruct the prosecutor in the exercise of his lawful occupation. Mr. PLATT stated the case to the jury. After calling some witnesses, . _ Lord Chief Justice TINDAL said that it would be advisa ble to settle this case without proceeding further. A con sultation between the Counsel for the prosecutors and de fendants of considerable length took place, and ultimately the following terms were agreed to by all parties :—The de fendants to withdraw their pleas of not guilty, and to plead guilty ; the coach proprietors to enter into recognizances in 1001., each to come up to 'receive judgment if called upon, with an understanding that unless they discontinue their ille gal acts against the plaintiff, or refuse to pay such compen sation (if any) as shall be awarded on arbitration, or refuse to appear before the arbitrator, they shall be called before the Court to receive judgment. Mr. Adolphus was appointed the arbitrator in the cause. The following defendants then came forward and entered into their own recognizances in the above-named amount : —Boxall, Dale, jun., Page, Saltwell, Sheldrick, Spooner, Heathcote, Fownes ' Blackwell, and Wardell. The above cause had created a great sensation among the gentlemen of the whip, with whom the Court was crowded. NORFOLK CIRCUIT, NORWICH, APRIL 1. Robert Bunting, aged 19, was charged with having com mitted an aggravated assault on the person of Phsebe Tuffs, four years and a half old, on Wednesday the 25th day of July last, in Terrington St. Clements, in this county, of which injury she died on the following day. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and sentence of death passed without hope being held out of its mitigation. SATURDAY.—Peter Taylor was indicted as an accessary before the fact in the wilful murder of Mary Taylor his wife, by administering arsenic, namely, white arsenic, in water gruel at Burnham Westgate on the 12th of March last. Mr. Anthony Bligh produced records of the conviction of Catherine Frary and Frances Billing, executed for the murder at the last midsummer assizes. Mr. Palmer took an objection that the record of the conviction was against Francis, instead of Frances Billing, although the bill was preferred in the right name. His Lordship did not think it material, but would take a note of the point. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty.--Sentence Death. NORFOLK CIRCUIT, NORwmf, APRIL 1. YARMOUTH BRIBERY CARES.--REX V. LACON. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated the case. It would oc cupy but a very short time ; but the only question they would have to decide was whether William Hall and Win. Pye were to be believed upon their oath, and if that were the case, then the Jury would have no doubt whatever upon the matter. The defendants were alleged to have given mo ney to Hall at the last election for the borough of Yarmouth to vote for Praed and Baring. The election took place in the beginning of Jan. 1835. The voter corrupted was Hall a baker, who at that time lodged at a public-house called the Jolly Maltsters. He was solicited to vote, but refused to make a promise to either party. On the second day of the election Lacon, who was a keen partisan in the Red interest ramp ft, the public-house, where he found Hall. They went together to a bed-room, and on that occasion it would be sworn to by Hall, and proved by Bye, the landlord, that ten sovereigns were promised and given. Mr. Lacon ap peared at first more unwilling to trust Hall with the money than he was willing to part with it. Hall then suggested that it should be deposited in the hands of the landlord until after he had voted. Bye was called up, and the money given to him ; and he subsequently gave it to Hall after he had voted for Praed and Baring. Mr. Lacon's identity not having been proved, the Jury found the defendant—Not Guilty. REX V. GREEN. This was also a criminal information against the de fendant, for alleged bribery at the last Yarmouth election. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, in opening the case to the Jury, said that this case was different from the last. The facts of the case were not disputed ; but it would resolve itself into a question of law, whether it was an offence at common law to promise a particular sum of money to a voter without proof of its being paid after. Verdict—Not Guilty. Being Good Friday, the Court did not sit till 1 o'clock. Thus have all these cases, which his Majesty's Attor ney-General has visited this city in order to prosecute, been disposed of without one of the parties against whom the charges were preferred being required to enter upon any de fence whatever. WE - STERN CIRCUIT.-LAUNCIISTON, MARCH 31. Philip Manuel was indicted for the wilful murder of his daughter, Caroline Manuel, by shooting her with a gun. The prisoner is a man of singularly wild appearance, and, while standing in the dock, he fixed his eyes with an intense gaze on the different objects that caught his attention. Christian Manuel, another daughter of the prisoner, was about 17 years of age. Her deceased sister, Caroline, was younger than herself. On the 19th of February last, be tween nine and ten in the morning, she and her sister wart from her mother's house to her father's. Her ruother and father live apart, and bad done so for sever years. On ar• riving near her father's house—they " - saw him coming across . the common, with a buchet and shovel in his hand ; that he came up to theavand said, " Where are you going ?" - Which She said, "We are come to see you." The prisoner replied, " You shall feel me too." He then went into the house. A few minutes after, he came out again. The deceased said to him, " Your's is a prettier pony than ours." He said," Thee'st got no pony ; if thee hast, thee'st stole it." He went in again, and brought out a gun and shot at her. The deceased ran up to witness. Shc had received one shot in her hand and one in her head. It seemed as if she had been struck with gravel. He then went in again. He came out once more, and threw small stones at us. We ran into Mrs. Matthews's house, which is close by. Pri soner came up to the window, and said he would shoot Martha Matthews if she harboured us. We remained there about an hour. We came out, and the prisoner followed us ,. He had a gun in his band, into which he was rammir , a rod. He fired, and turned roucd, but I could n ot see hi m ° for the smoke. Young Matthews came up, and prisoner stopped, and had some conversation with him, which I heard. He said—" Do you think if you were to bold up a board with a round mark on it, I couldn't put a ball into it ?" We ran away, and prisoner followed us. He fired again, and Caroline, who was close by my side, fell. Pri soner came up, and told me to take her down home. If I didn't lie said he would shoot me too. A man called Moyle came up, and charged him with having shot my sister. He said he did not, and went away home. My sister died at seven o'clock the next morning. From the cross-examination of the witnesses for the pro• secution, it appeared that the prisoner was not sound in his mind ; that his father was insane, and his mother also. The latter was found dead one night not far from the house, having gone out in the snow clad only in a night-gown. That the prisoner was often hooted by the boys in the villag e , and called Mazed Figgy. That by order of a Magistrate, one of his other children was rem oved from his care, he having attempted t o strangle it. The Jury returned a verd ict of " N ot Guilty," on the ground of insanity. NORTHERN CIRCUIT—LivEnrooL, APRIL 2. BROWN AND OTHERS V.WERSTER. r e s y s e t d h the e pla jury ts for to recove r plaintiffs. broughtTli i e l a r. ct W ion in ja E S MANd d by goods to the amount of 251., whic h had been wres ted from them by the defendant, through the p roduction of a deed of as signment. The plaintiffs were coachmakers in Manchester and, together with the defendant, were creditors of Messrs. Weddell, Hodnet, and Lawton, also coachmakers at the same place. The Jury returned a verdict ibr the defendant. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS. 11. T. Jay, a young man, apparently about 16 years of age, was indicted for stealing from Mrs. Thompson a look ing-glass of the value of one guinea. The prosecutrix, a respectable woman, who lets furnished apartments for gentlemen, stated that the prisoner called at her house and said that he was in the employment of Mr. Bremer, a Member of Parliament—(there is no M.P. of this name)—and that he had been requested by him to call and inquire whether she had any apartments to let. On her answering in the affirmative, he desired to see them ; after showing him them he left the house, observing that he would call in the course of the day, and let her know whe ther they would suit. He afterwards called, and said the Member of Parliament would take the apartments. Soon afterwards she missed the looking-glass. It was afterwards found that he had pledged it. The prisoner sharply cross-questioned the prosecutrix. Prisoner—Can you swear, Mrs. Thompson, you saw me steal the glass ? Prosecutor—No, I cannot swear I saw you steal it. Prisoner—Well, then, can you swear I stole it ? Pro secutrix—No : I cannot swear you stole it ; but I can swear it was stolen soon after you were in my house. Prisoner—Then that is all you can swear ? Prosecutrix —That is all. The pawnbroker deposed to the prisoner having pawned the glass. COURT—How did you come by the glass? Prisoner— I got it from a boy. Couni—ls the boy here ? Prisoner (looking round the Court)—No, I cannot see him. The Jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty.— Sentence of transportation for seven years was then passed on him ; on which he made a low bow to the Court, and begged to thank it for the sentence. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. (hi Saturday the Stewards of the Cabinet-makers'benefit society were summoned before the LORD MAYOR, for having refused to allow one of their Members, named Braham, the sum of 15s. a week, to which he declared himself entitled by the articles, he being prevented by a lameness of the leg from working at his trade. The objections of the Society were founded upon evidence which caused some merriment. One of the members of the Society stated that Mr. Braham had set up a beer-shop, which, although he professed to be unable to work at his trade, he attended himself. One night witness went into the beer-shop, accompanied by a friend, and called for a pint of " swipes," which Mr. Braham served them himself, walking through the room not like a toddler, but in a right straight-forward one-leg-after-the other sort of a style. Soon after Mr. Braham joined the chorus of the " Bay of Biscay 0 !" keeping time by stamp ing with what he called his bad leg in such a manner as proved that his limb was as strong as his lungs. Witness then called for another pint, and Mr. Braham ran off to the barrel, drew the swipes, and served him, but never for a moment slackened in his effort to do justice to the musical entertainment of the room to every customer, in which he officiated with a degree of activity proportioned to the extent of the order, roaring out as he took money, " Here I lays, in the Bay of Biscay 0 !"---(A laugh.) The LORD MAYOR—Do you think he might have at his trade ? Witness—l have no doubt of it. He made no complaint at all of his leg. Another member of the Society stated that, having heard of Mr. Braham's change of trade, he called at the beer-shop and sat down. He had not been long in the room when an Italian boy entered, and having recruited himself with a half pint began to tune up his " hurdy gurdy." After the first two or three grinds, up started Mr. Brabam, and began to dance as if he had been made of card, and pulled by a string between the two legs. . . . The LORD MAYOR—What ! What he able to dance too ? Witness—Dance ! Any one that saw him would almost be obliged to get up and dance himself. It was to the tune of " Allan Water." The LORD MAYOR--.I dare say you would have had no objection if he had been dancing " In the Bay of Biscay, 0 !"—(Laughter.) Mr. Braham—My Lord, it's wrong. I never danced. I might have got up, in my fun, and run about the room ; but I'm willing to show my leg to any doctor, and if he'll say it's fit for any man to wear with his work, I won't ask a farthing. . A person in the crowd said, " Please you, my Lord, it's easy enough to make a bad leg. A halfpenny and a sop of vinegar will do it any day. I'll give him a green mortifica tion in the matter of a night for 6d.' The LORD MAYOR—I cannot help you in this case. I regret to say I have looked over your rules, and they are so loose that I cannot put my hand on any one of them and say that this man has violated it. It is, I have no hesita tion in saying, an imposition upon you ; but. you have to blame your regulations, and I would advise you to apply for a total alteration at the next Sessions. The Stewards—We intend to do so, my Lord. The LORD MAYOU—If you do, this man can no longer impose upon you ; but you must submit, I am sorry to say, in this instance. BO W-STREET. Thomas Brydges,a man of respectable appearance, was, on Saturday, finally examined for negotiating two bank notes, one for 501. and the other for 30/., which had been stolen, together with a letter, in May, 1832, from the Post office. The prisoner had already undergone several exami nations, which, however, were ,taken in a private room ; but the whole of the evidence was now read over. The prisoner was formerly chief clerk in the Comptrol ler's Office of the Twopenny-post-office ; and he also had a son who was a clerk in the Inland Office of the General Post Office. On the 15th May, 1882, Mr. Jackson, a gentleman residing at Leicester, had occasion to transmit • 80/. to a lady named Cooper, living at No. 1, Foster-place, Gravesend ; and having written a letter, he inclosed in it two notes of the respective value of 50/. and 30/., and dropped it into the post-office in time for the post of the same evening. In due course it would lir.ve reached London on the next morning, and would immediately have been handed in to the Inland-office, where the prisoner's son was on duty. The latter, however, never reached Mrs. Cooper's hands, and nothing more was heard of its contents until July, 1835, on the Bth of which month the prisoner went to the Hoop • Hotel, Cambridge, under the assumed name of Tilley. On the following day he gave the 50/. note in question to Butcher, the waiter, for the purpose of being changed, and the latter carried it immediately to the bank ing house of Mr. Barker, from whom he received change, which he afterw a rd s gave t o th e p r i so n e r. On the 30th of October the prisoner also went to Leamington, and he then took occasion to pass the stolen 301. note at the shop of ,Mr. Phillips, a hatter, of whom he purcnased a hat for 9s. 6d. • A statement made by the priSoner on his examination on Saturday, March 26, was next read ; it was as follows : " I admit negotiating the 501. note at Cambridge in July gud . pnrchasing the boots with a part of it. I did not pass any iitAn s in the name of Tilley. I can satisfactorily account for rhy-using that name. I am ashamed of using the note in the -Nay t o which I did ; but I found it near the water-closet in the 1-'w,,4.4ee twelve months since, and that is the fact. I also stale that T found the 30/. note in the same place, and at the sang tune. By a person's having a note in his possession which might -have been forged, or one, by passing which he would be likely to get into a scrape, he would be mad to pass it in his own name. I have told the truth. Ido not recollect whether it was in July that I passed the note." The prisoner declared that he was drawn into making this statement. He wished then to retract what he had before said. This having been entered on the deposition paper, he was fully committed to the gaol at Cambridge, to take his trial at the ensuing Assizes, and he was soon afterwards conveyed away from the office in custody of Tyrrell, the gaoler. MARYLEBONE. Charles Gale, a young man, shopman in the service of Mr. Laughton, a linen-draper,' formerly carrying on an ex tensive business at 55, Lisson-street, Lisson-grove, and who, on Saturday se'nnight, was placed at the bar before Mr. SHUTT, on the charge of having plundered his master of property to a considerable amount, was brought up for fmal examination. The solicitor, Mr. Goddard, of Wood-street, Cheapside, again attended on the part of the assignees, and Mr. Go vett, of Warwick-square, Newgate-street, for the prisoner. The office was, as on the former occasion, crowded with respectable tradesmen from various parts of the town. A number of witnesses were examined and cross-exa mined by the solicitors, and the prisoner, who made no de fence, was fully committed to Newgate for trial. A POLICEMAN TURNED PREACHER. — David 2IP Allan, a tall young Scotchman, wearing a blue camlet cloak, with green fur collar, and who was lately a constable in the C division of police, was brought up in custody, charged with creating an obstruction by preaching in the open air. p o li ce constable D 42 on the previous day (Good Friday) was on duty near Christchurch, Stafford-street, Lisson-Grove, when his attention was attracted towards a mob down the street. He then went up, and found the prisoner perched on the top of a high stool, from which elevated position he, in a voice of thunder, was assuring about three hundred persons that he had been sent down expressly from Heaven to convert sinners to repentance ; he refused to go on, and in c onsequence thereof witness, in order to make the foot path open and free for those who were passing to church, conveyed him to the station-house. He was in the fre quent practice of collecting crowds in a similar way, and I near the same spot. _ _ _ --- The prisoner, not being provided with bail, ogm? mitted to the House of correction, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. FRAUD.--Lord Portarlington came on Saturday to this office, to prove a charge of attempted fraud against Ann Durnegan. About a twelvemonth back he received a letter, purporting to have been written by Captain Bolton, pleading urgent distress, and soliciting pecuniary relief. The letter concluded by expressing a wish, provided his Lordship would condescend to recollect the time when they were officers in the same regiment, that his Lord ship, in addition, would give the bearer a written cer tificate of his services and conduct as an officer. 1113 Lord ship, when Colonel of the 23d regiment of Dragoons, re membering that Captain Bolton (lid serve under him, and well knowing that he was a highly meritorious officer, im mediately enclosed a .5/. note and a written certificate, in a letter, which was handed to a female answering the description of the prisoner. Some time after this, his Lordship happening to mention the subject to Lord Ed ward Somerset, he was given to understand that there was very little doubt of his having been imposNl upon, as the letter had certainly not been written by Captain Bolton. On Tuesday last his Lordship came to town, and went to reside at Stephen's Hotel, Bond-street. A letter was brought to him, having been left by some females, couched in terms similar to the one alleged to have been written by Captain Bolton, purporting to come from a Captain Bat tersby, and soliciting relief. The handwriting being the same, his Lordship immediately detected the fraud, and, to render the offence clearer, if possible, his Lordship added that he had never known a Captain Battersby, but he had known a Lieutenant Battersby, who had been killed at the battle of Waterloo. His Lordship immediately procured the assistance of the p o li ce , an d precaut i ons having been taken, the prisoner was secured when she made her ap pearance for the answer. Mr. DYER said the case was one which ought to be sifted as closely as possible, and therefore he should re. wand her until next Wednesday. WORSHIP_ STREET Mrs. Feather, on Saturday, preferred a complaint against her husband, a salesman in Newgate Market, for neglect ing her. The complaint arose of certain visits which complain ant stated her husband paid too frequently to a Mrs. -, a wholesale-dealer in sheeps' heads and trotters. This was the second hearing. On a former one the husband threat ened that, if held to bail, he would never live with his wife again. Mr: BROUGHTON—Why cannot you live together happy? Complainant—Because he will go to Mrs. —. Mr. BROUGHTON—Then it is what Shakspeare calls the green-eyed monster. Complainant—lt is not my fault. Mr. BROUGHTON—My advice to you is, to take him home and kill him with kindness. Complainant—So I would, if he would let me ; but he will go to Mrs. —. Mr. TWYFORD—Then, why do you not leave him ? A solicitor for the defandant said that the complainant was very jealous, and without cause. Mr. BaouGHToN.—All we can do, is to hold him to bail, but we cannot prevent him going astray. If you separate who is to take care of the children ? Defendant— I will take them all. Complainant—How can you do that, when you are from home three days a week ? Mr. BROUGHTON—You may be a very good butcher, but you are a very unfeeling husband. What can you do with the children ? The complainant, who had an infant in her arms, shed tears.—The defendant was held to bail. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
